The Competition Authority (Konkurentsiamet) initiated proceedings over the sudden price hike of digital study resource platform Opiq. The cities and municipalities association and the education ministry turned to providers for a reasonable price, which would allow schools to use the digital platforms next year as well.
Ministry of Education and Research vice-chancellor Robert Lippin told ETV s daily affairs show Aktuaalne kaamera that a two-year procurement for basic school digital study platform use was completed in 2019. Considering the number of users and monthly fees, the procurement ended up costing €0.69 a month per student. In the fall of 2020, a new procurement was conducted for high schools, which ended up costing €1.54 per student.
